Colonial officials were convinced that itinerant preachers of jihad--whom they labelled 'Wahhabis'--were collaborating with Russian and Persian armies and inspiring Muslim princes to revolt. Officials detained and interrogated Muslim travellers, conducted weapons inspections at princely forts, surveyed mosques, and ultimately annexed territories of the accused. Using untapped archival materials, Chandra Mallampalli describes how local intrigues, often having little to do with 'religion,' manufactured belief in a global conspiracy against British rule. By skillfully narrating stories of the alleged conspirators, he shows how fears of the dreaded 'Wahhabi' sometimes prompted colonial authorities to act upon thin evidence, while also inspiring Muslim plots against princes not of their liking. At stake were not only questions about Muslim loyalty, but also the very ideals of a liberal empire"--Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a The fear of itinerant Muslims -- Prince Mubariz ud-Daula -- A fondness for military display -- A diamond in the trough -- Slaying men with faces of women -- Conclusions. 611 27 $a British Occupation of India (1765-1947) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01352145 650 0 $a Muslims $z Deccan $z Deccan $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Deccan (India) $x History $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Deccan (India) $x Politics and government $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Paranoia $x History $z Deccan $z Deccan $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Conspiracies $z Deccan $z Deccan $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Allegiance $z Deccan $z Deccan $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a India $x History $y British occupation, 1765-1947. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Asia / India & South Asia. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Allegiance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00805505 650 7 $a Conspiracies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875715 650 7 $a Ethnic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916005 650 7 $a Muslims. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01031029 650 7 $a Paranoia $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01940255 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 651 7 $a India $z Deccan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01242608 648 7 $a 1765-1947 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211023220.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C05A6E18E55311E7AFB0C42A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
